Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Hellenic *sténō, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tenh₂- (“to thunder”), compare Sanskrit स्तनति (stanati, “to drone, thunder”), Proto-Germanic *stenaną (“to moan, groan”).
On the other hand, Latin tonō, Sanskrit तन्यति (tanyati), Old English þunian, Proto-Germanic *þunraz and Aeolic Greek τέννει (ténnei) (a riming word or an old s-less byform[1]) point to *ten(h₂)-. [2]
